for the winter season are so costly that
only the few with well filled purses will
be able to buy them. The Louis XIV.
and XVI. cloths and soutache fabrics
resamOng the choicest and most extern
sive exhibits. Fortunately for those who
can not afford these costly goods, there
are many other less expensive and very
handsome stuffS to be had. There is a
new material, called Amazon cloth
which is very like the habit cloth, but
not nearly so expensive and cOnsidera-
Its range of color is, however, the same.
The latest change in habit cloths
is in the cOlOrings. A new
style of weaving called chew
ron, has recently been introduced,
and is shown in the Japanese cloths and
also in the Burmah vicuna. VigOgne is
staple commodity, and will be pOpu-
lar and much worn i'll the friese and
Gobelin tones. One of the inexpensive
cloths of the day is drap de COrdun, a
fcule cloth with perpendicular cord.
IweedS will be as favOrably received as
ever, both for tailOr-made and other
gowns. There are numerous novelties
under this head. The Irwin tweed, es-
peclally. is very handsome imitation
of cOatmgs. The new stripes in tweedS
also show beautiful mixtures of cOlOrs,
particularly in red and blue. brown and
GObelin. The firm. thin, Strong tweed,
called tailor tweed, has thread stripes
OF distinct color, an inch apart, with
chevrOn weaving between. Plain and
this season. The Algerine tweed also
shows rich and handsome effects in in
termiXed coiorings. Brocade plays no
great part in wOOiens, except in the
+ very costly cloths. A brOcaded leaf
sometimes finds its way with pleasing
effect among the stripes. The Raye
brocade also has long, continuous bro
cade between the stripes. Red, brown
and russell are very popular shades in
morocco, which is a tritle darker than
tobacco brown, but brighter than ma
hOgany. 1t combines very etfeC lively
with moss green. fawn and GObelin
blue. In all the new wOOlenS red and
brown seem to struggle for the ascend
ency. There are reddish browns and
br0WniSh reds. and clear reds and
browns are also cOntraSted in plaidS and
stripes. Wooden goods in gray OF ''frOs
de Gapucin'' are used for travelling or
indoor suits.
THE UNDRESSING SCENE
i'll Faust is rather disappointing to
those who saw Ellen Terry and Irving
i'll their London production of Romeo
and Juliet" From time out OF mind we
have always seen the new-made hus-
band and wife after the marriage i'll
FTiar Laurence'S cell extremely well
dressed. Juliet. hung with pearls and
draped with satin. clings TO her Romeo,
and insists that the early morning cock
she. hears is a nightingale and not
lark: but Romeo, who has been Oh too
many of EN- not TO know, is sure it is
lark. and therefore ii is morning. The
impression this makes on the audience
is that Romeo and Juliet have sat in the
window all night dressed in dOublet
and hose. pearls and white satin.
The Terry idea was much more hui
'n8n-quite as poetical and pictorial.
As the pair were discovered people
grabbed their glasses. MOI "YeSw

apparent garment on her body. It vas

any situation in life in which it would
not have interfered, save to stand up

her feet. Romeo was better dressed.
He was ready for an early start to bust
ness.
Having all this in mind, many of r.
Wings lirst-night audience expected
some rare developments in the disrOb-
ing scene of Faust" Terry took off
ali outer jacket. an inner jacket, a petit
coat was disclosed as she dropped her
dress-skirt with waist like chemise
in cut and general effect. But there the
undressing stopped short, like our
grStndfather's clock, much to the diSap-
pOintment of those who had seen the
smOck scene in Romeo and Juliet
and expected much more. A lady who
travelled once OH sleeper with Henry
Bcrgh has been heard to tell. that no
amount of imagination could create the
vision that burst upon her startled
senses when some cOmmotion reused
the passengers out of their berthS. and
Henry Bergh parted the curtains and
stood for moment incaSed in red fan
mel drawers and wrapper before her
Surely some idea could be formed of
that spectacle by those who look upon
the histrionic Henry's legs. They must
surpass the hOrstri0nic Henry's in lean
ness, in eccentricity and in uDpremedi-
tated action. They are wonderful legs,
all four of 'em. What a quadruped they
would make!
In no play yet done by Henry Irving
have the legs been so versatile and sur.
prising.
They are dOcile in "Malvolio," they
are tractable in Benedict beside their
rayOrting unruliness in "MephistOph
ales."

ion to see this new character of Irv-
ng's, but when he tip-tOed on. a feeling |
